Commercial Description:
Nothing refreshes you more than this naturally cloudy wheat beer with its wonderful yeasty fragrance and taste. Goes well with dishes that do not have too intensive a flavour, especially that Bavarian speciality 'Weisswurst' or white sausage.

Opaque warm peach pour, dense, abundant clouds of ivory bubbles. Sun-warmed dessert apples in the nose, vanilla, clove, just a faint little lactic note—icing on the cake. Spritzy, tinglely-tangly wheat, restrained honey sweetness. Teaming with microscopic points of fruit and spice, such complexity that no sip registers quite the same: now orange blossoms, now cloves, now lemon, now coriander seed. Hops restrained but when sought for, definitely show: a firm resiny presence lending some nice shape. Soft and full on the palate. Delicious and completely endearing.

Bottle from the Fort Worth Gingerman. Orange, kinda hazy pour. Lemon, wheat, and a little banana aroma. Taste is malt, citrus, banana, and spice.

This is the best hefeweizen I have had. On draft this is slightly better than in bottle. It pours a cloudy golden with a nice thick white head that leaves substantial lacing. In general this beer is effervescent with medium carbonation and the taste is yeasty wheat, malty, crisp, and absolutely refreshing. In particular it has nice clove flavor tone that lingers with a hint of banana.

I’ll come right out and say I love this beer. Lots of yeast, bananas, clove and sweet hay in the nose with some vanilla. I could just smell this beer and be happy. The palate is creamy and smooth. Much of the smell is translated directly into the taste. This is definitely one Hefe you’ll want to roll in order to get all the yeast into your glass. Super long finish that is pleasant till the very end.

Bottle pours cloudy gold with a large, soft, white head which leaves nice lacing. Aroma smells of banana bread with additional notes of lemon and bubblegum. Flavor is bananas, wheat dough and lemon curd. Overall the body is light to moderate, with a creamy texture and a short finish. Definately a classic Hefe.

Pours hazy golden with generous creamy foam. Aroma is bready with a heavy banana sweetness. Flavor is also strong in banana and fruity sweetness with a doughy yeast flavor balanced with just enough carbonation.

Banana-yellow color with thick, frothy white head, reminiscent of roasted marshmellows; cloudy and effervescent. Medium Aromas of topical fruit-banana and papaya-as well as yeast and wheat. Palate is creamy, malty and very sweet with long, arid, "wheaty" finish.
